Abstract: A woven or interlaced electronic system for electronic EMI/RFI (Electromagnetic Interference/Radio Frequency Interference) filtering and for Transient Voltage Suppression. This filtering system consists of two diverse types of flexible and electrically conductive wires that are woven or interlaced into a fabric through the use of textile technologies and/or practices. The primary wire is a flexible or bendable, conductive core, single or double clad, edifice which promotes one direction of electron flow across the woven material (the “warp” of the fabric). The succeeding wire 12 is of a conventional, flexible, single or multiple strands, non-insulated type which promotes a divergent direction of electron flow across the woven material (the “weft” of the fabric).

The circuit system includes at least one NMOS transistor having a drain coupled to the voltage supply node, a source and a gate together coupled to the complementary voltage supply node, and at least one diode chain having one or more diodes serially coupled between the voltage supply node and the complementary voltage supply node.
